Walk the grounds of Fort Margherita. The 1879 structure sits at a strategic riverside position. Arrive early enough to explore the Brooke Gallery and see the old cannons and armoury before the crowd gathers.
18:49
Find a spot on the fort's perimeter facing WSW. The sun sets toward this direction, casting a golden glow over the Sarawak river.
19:19
Head to See Good Food Centre for dinner. This casual spot is very popular with locals for fresh seafood. Get there while it is still relatively quiet to secure a table and minimize waiting, as they do not take reservations.
20:04
Finish the evening with a drink or dessert at Magenta. Located in the beautiful colonial building at the Waterfront, it offers a romantic oriental ambience and a good menu.
Local tip
See Good Food Centre is best visited early in the evening to avoid long queues. Magenta is in a historic building, so the atmosphere is quite distinct from the casual food court.
